Abstract
I study the impact of a municipal program on gender-based violence in Chile. I exploit the fact
that the implementation of the program is through “Centros de la Mujer”and only some municipalities
have one. This allows to measure the effect of the program with a difference-in-difference approach
including municipal and month fixed effects. The study concludes that in municipalities in which the
program is implemented, all kinds of violence against women decrease 4.13%. Results suggest that the
program reduces violent crimes (domestic violence, sexual abuses and rapes) for both women and men.
The program has heterogeneous effects across age of victims and a 1-year delay since its implementation
until results are observed.
